[edit] Funambol

Funambol (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Was nominated for speedy as spam and then I deleted it but wasnt sure. So restored and listed here. Includes claim of notability, but google search does not show much coverage beyond primary and self published sources. soum ^talk 06:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep What motivation would an open source project have for spamming? The notability is a bit tenuous, but it doesn't seem like spam to me. I've heard of it, though I know that's not considered grounds for a keep. Deranged bulbasaur 07:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and I strongly commend Soum for his honesty and willingness to seek other opinions. A Google search for "Funambol" turns up 500,000 hits, and I've never seen an article deleted when it had that many hits. Article history shows that about ten people have edited this article for more than a year. Without knowing the subject well, I can fall back on the hope that they aren't all wrong. The article would seem less spammy if some of the many available references were incorporated. This is a cleanup job, not a deletion job. Shalom ^Hello 01:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why this should be deleted. Funambol is a major Open Source project. Just becuase you don't know what it is doen't mean it should be deleted!

• Keep. Seems valid, just provided useful encyclopaedic content to me, and Shalom is right about notoriety. Desperately needs a cleanup, but not deletion. --Avapoet 09:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I come to Wikipedia to learn about things like this, that I didn't know about earlier. If you delete articles on subjects that are new to you (or to anyone), what would be left?
